Lashed to the pilings. That’s why the traditional timber versions of these vessels are so regionally-specific, with a keel and ribs strong enough to support repeated drying, broad enough abaft the beam to to rest upright on grounding, hold her catch and be able to surf home in a following sea but still with enough deadrise to keep way and break sea to prevent her from pounding herself to bits.
